P1074 and a miss after 30 min driving
1998 3.0v6
I thought I had this fixed a month ago and now she has the same code P1074 with what feels like a misfire. It will stumble almost like a fuel cutoff when you hit that 115 mph in the old Camaros. The stumble only happens after 30 min of driving and is intermittent. I wish it would just always miss so I could track it down more easily. The miss is more prevalent at low RPM but I can feel it missing at high rpm too.
New plugs and wires
No vacuum leaks
New o2 in bank 2
Cleaned MAS
New fuel filter
New Air filter
Cleaned throttle body

Welcome to the forum
I assume you mean P0174 lean exhaust on Drivers side of V engine
The mis-fire itself can cause that code, O2 sensor only sees Oxygen, Lean means too much oxygen in the exhaust on that side/bank of the engine.
When a cylinder mis-fires no oxygen is burned up so it is all dumped into the exhaust on that bank, which sends oxygen levels up, and Lean code is set.
I would pull spark plugs on that bank, have a look at the tips, see if you can ID which one is mis-firing.
What I might do first is to disable the coil pack, unplug 4 wire connector, and then crank the engine over a few times.
Then pull out those 3 spark plugs, all the tips should be EQUALLY WET with fuel, if you find one that is DRIER then that injector may be getting plugged up or failing.
Also just see if one tip is showing less wear, lighter color than the others, and swap out that 1 spark plug.
I have gotten bad spark plugs before, not common but certainly possible
